H L Langan was my grand uncle and I was named after him. I never met him and my grandmother signed to get him into the AAF. Her Husband was an officer with the 15th AAF and was in the ETO during this time too. May they all rest as heroes do in peace on the bottom of the Bay of Biscay.

Hello there! My name is Craig Santa Ruiz. Thank you for sharing your story. My wife’s Grand Uncle was Thomas McMillan. He also perished that fateful day. Our son now shares his name. I wanted to connect to see what if anything you have learned of that mission.
Best,
Craig
